 So i yesterday i went to visit my grandmother who is unfortunelty not doing so well. She is about 87-88 yrs old and the most inportant person in my life. I had been thinking about taking my duaghter and staying with her for a couple weeks just to help her around the house and cook food && wat not. When i brought it to my boyfriends attention to myy plan he blew up telling me no i couldnt go and tht i couldnt stay tht long. Now when im told no it makes me get up and do it anyway. i know this is not the right way to handle this issue buhh i feel tht its not my boyfriends place to tell me wat i can && cant do when concerning my family. How can i bring this topic up and get us at an agreeable point  so tht we can discuss this issue. && if he continues to say no should i go anyway?sarcasm

I don't understand why you'd allow anyone to tell what you can or cannot do. That is not okay.

Yes you should go!! Boyfriend come and go. Family doesn't. Your family comes first. You definitely need to go help your grandmother. If he doesn't like it then oh well. He's your boyfriend not husband

 You are very right, it is NOT his place to tell you yes or no. Even if it was your husband, still no place. The fact that he is even telling you no brings up red flags simply because he should understand what family means to you and should not stand in the way of you seeing your grandmother who is not doing well. I say go, he has to understand how important family is because bet your ass if his family needed him, he would go no matter what.

definitely not his place. Try talking to him and seeing what his reasoning is behind saying no. Family should come first and boyfriends come and go. I say go take care of your grandma.

I would not allow my BOYFRIEND to tell me that I cannot go stay with family.  I wouldn't even let my husband say that to me, but definitely not a boyfriend.  I say go spend time with your grandma.

 The boyfriend would be told to fuck off.  In fact, my hubby would be told to fuck off.

Its not his place when it comes to your family. Family is family!

Did you ask him why he is against you going? If you are serious about this relationship, at least hear him out.
